Soft landing

Comedy graph. It can't be accurate. Or can it...

/gulp

Yes, it's a comedy graph, the same trajectory as Frankie Howerd in Up the Chastity Belt (?) when he goes flying out of a window and has a "soft landing" in a big pile of steaming manure.

The guy who runs that site was on the BBC the other morning.
he's a complete cock

Well, somebody who devotes their time to scaremongering about house prices on a web site isn't likely to be the sharpest tool in the box.

Well, House price inflation was falling but still positive. Now it's clearly negative i.e. House price deflation.

We could confusion the "house prices only rise" brigade by plotting house price depreciation that's def positive

That's truly impressive, send it to http://www.housepricecrash.co.uk/ , it's better than the one on their front page.

I've already seen it there a few times.

Prices are collapsing faster than the world trade centre...

Last time I checked, it stopped collapsing seven years ago?

It's find it's quite a good site for getting the daily gloom newspaper articles when you are in the mood ! The property investing bit on www.fool.co.uk has a more reasoned view and better quality posts.

I always found that weird. People were really convinced that prices couldn't fall.

House prices are rising. Take the price of a house a year or two ago for example and compare to today. They are higher now. We need a climate change expert to predict what house price will be if we don't increase stamp duty tax.

I agree. Compare house prices to those of a million years ago, and there's a clear increase. Furthermore, if you compare ice core records of CO2 with house prices, you can clearly see they both rise at the same time. Conclusion: CO2 causes house price inflation, and the current slump is down to government green taxes.
